Well yesterday i just turned 18 and tried to sign with T-Mobile at Walmart b/c the phone i wanted was free. Well anyway, The guy said i didn't have to pay a deposit and since i have a bad credit history " I just turned 18 duhh " i have to pay for the phone itself * $194 * and the 1st month service * $50 *. I was like WTH?! He said it's because i have bad credit history and i was thinking to my self something ain't right i kinda figured walmart would try to screw me over but i'm going to the main store today and see what they say.

Thanks!

this is what happens.

the only way to get around is to have someone sign for you with good credit.

the phone companies do this just incase you screw them over, basically.

personaly i would never buy anything from Wal Mart, my suggestion is go to a TMobil Store, even if the same things happens there, they will probably be more professional and diplomantic in handlng the situation and exaplain why
The biggest problem you may have is being just 18 having just turned 18 all cell dealers do credit checks and you may simply have no credit history, that happened to me years ago, it isin't fun but that is part of life
My other suggestion is, I have poor credit, I also have had AT&T home phone service for years, I called Cingular onthe phone not a dealer but AT&T talked to them and they saidthat even though my credit history was not real good, since I had alonghistory of home phone service withthem they would esyablish an account and by pass the creditcheck, it may not work for you but certainly worth the try, when you are just 18 and no credit history getting ANY credit will be hard
Also you may not be thrilled using AT&T for wireless service, but if they by pass the creditcheck as an AT&T home phone service customer, I would jump on that offer and use them until you can establish credit to use another provider
